its recent canvass for presidential candidates.

sounds strange here. when Lincoln is remem-
bered as very respectable young man of only
ordinary abilities, and no brilliancy whatever

and proved a political nonentity. In a party

THE organ of the street-railway monopoly
is distressed because it has just heard that the
cable company is to build some horse-car
lines this season, and insinuates suspicion
that all is not as it should be. If the editor
of this organ will examine the files of the
Journal both before and Immediately after
the granting of the cable company's charter
he will find that Colonel Dudley expressed an
intention of building some tributary lines of
horse cars this year. 1t will also be found
that the charter does not stipulate that the
cable tracks shall be completed before Novem-
Der, 1888. In the meantime, citizens who
are not interested in the continuation Of
monopoly will gladly welcome the horse-car
lines especially as they will be equipped with
clean and comfortable cars.

THE following important piece of intelli-
gence is sent as special from Washington to
loyal Democratic papers:
"The most beautiful of all the photographs
taken of Mrs Cleveland is one which repre-

mother. Her lovely features illumined
with the tender devotion of an only child.

at this gem of Photographic art say that the
combination of the mothers and daughters
faces is something exquisite"
It is evident from this that Mr.. Cleveland
intends to leave nothing undone to secure his
denomination. Having found his wife win
ming card he is now going to make his mother
in-law go for all she is worth. It looks as if
the photograph business would cut large fig
ure in the next campaign.

TT SHALT, BE DONE.

Nobody claims that Grover Cleveland is
great man, but it is evident he is posing for
place in history. This is not unnatural, con-
sidering his position and the opportunities it
affords. The office of President of the United
States is one of great honor and dignity, and
every person who fills it becomes more Or less
an historic figure. 1t has been filled by some
very great and some comparatively small
men. If Grover Cleveland's contemporaries
rank him among the latter that is no reason
why he should not aspire to place among
the former. Chance and the accidents Of fort
une have placed him in the presidential chair;
why should he not try 20 carve out place in
history among its great occupants7 Evidently
he is aiming at this His speech to the st.
Louis committee of invitation shows it. It
was ringing speech. The occasion was one
that does not come to many men more than
once in life time. The President had do

failed he was lost. If he rose to the height of
the great occasion he might take place in
history beside w ashington, Lincoln and Grant.
He determined to do it, and at the close of
speech of great power and eloquence, accepting
the committees invitation to visit st. Louis
and exhibit himself during the fair, he said:

Gov. j. i. Foraker, in the Forum.
So far as platform declarations concerned,
all parties agree that the right of suffrage should
be maintained inviolate. Nevertheless the fact
is that the Democrats party is in power to-day
only because. by the most shameful offenses, it
has overthrow this right in many places and
States of the South, and, emboldened By its
cessss there, it has sought to succeed elsewhere
by like means. as at Chicago, Indianapolis,
Columbus and Cincinnati. This is said to be an
old question and sectional one, and there
many who affect to dispose of all illusions TO 81
with a contemptuous sheer about the ''bloodv
shirt" There is answer in all this. The
older the question the more reason for its speedy
settlement; that the crimes complained Of are
largely confined to particular locality is no
reason why their commission should not be
stopped, and the cry of bloody shirt" but adds
insult to injury.
The truth is that this question is upon us now
as it never has been before; not as question of
the past, but of the present ana the future.
That the South made ''solid" by bloody and
fraudulent methods is indisputable an his
torical fact as the war itself. That it is now so
maintained by improper methods is shown bv
such circumstances as the formal farce called
congressional election, in the State of Georgia,
last October. In Ohio and every other Repub-
lican State there are cast in each district at q
thousand votes. There are about the same
number of votes in each of the congressional
districts of Georgia, but at the election of Oct.
